You're talking about the Reuters article and the ABC "news" show where they trolled for 'victims'? Not news. Pure propaganda. Did you read this post? You might want to read the links at #1. You're response is exactly why OUR press should be censored for war crimes, imho.

The American people are selling out the troops by trusting proven untrustworthy sources - the same folks who bought and sold Baghdad Bob's lies, accused our troops of intentionally murdering women and children, ETC., and are deliberately undermining America on the world stage for partisan power's sake. Shame on any American who buys their lies.

I read an interview with a soldier who said he would ask for Rummy's resignation. That was reported and quoted on ABC, FOX, etc. I have no knowledge of its veracity and certainly am not in a position to make that up.

If you think Iraq is any threat to your literal freedom, then you are the one who is a victim of 'pure propaganda'. I believed (and still do) the potential WMD threat....but even in January, when the case was being made to attack, I never felt - and still don't - that Iraq was a literal threat to my freedom.

As far as the rest, I made it very clear that I support our troops and any actions they take to save innocent lives. This ain't no Liberal-Hippie posting this message. However, I don't believe in soldiers dying in vain, either.

Given the corruption of the White House over the past half-century (and before that)...from LBJ's Vietnam child-killing of American youth in the Vietnam failure...to Nixon's illegal shenanigans that forced his resignation...to Carter's pansy-assed attempts at resolving the Iranian hostage situation and giving away the Canal...to Iran-Contra...to the entire horrid 8 years of numerous Clintax lies and public manipulation...to now-questionable evidence for attacking Iraq, I think any American who refuses to question the actions of an Administration when those actions have led to the deaths of American soldiers is shameful.

If Gore was President and nothing else about the current situation was changed, this entire website would rightfully be calling for his head on a plate for potentially bogus reasoning for attacking. Shame on any American who stands pat while their countrymen die in foreign lands for no purpose.

"You're talking about the Reuters article and the ABC "news" show where they trolled for 'victims'?"

Not sure about that article you referenced. I can assure you that I don't watch any of the major TV networks at all. The story I read was from a link from both DrudgeReport and Boortz.com, traditionally right-leaning sources.

Question: How can either of us be assured of the truthfulness of any source/website/link that we reference? Because I would totally expect a Centcom website (your link) to provide as favorable of an account of the situation as I would expect some hippie-treehugger "DU"-style site to provide an unfavorable account.

You are correct. Everyone has an agenda and wants people to believe their propaganda. How can I be sure of which one is correct? Hell, how can I be sure that ANY of them are correct?

George Orwell would be confused at the moment, going thru all the Newspeak!
